My bad, I was thinking SMS not GPO..SMS *CAN* use BITS depending on how the SMS server and SMS package are configured.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought BITS was used for Windows Updates and other HTTP-related services?

I know it's not full-blown Office, but we pushed out the O2k7 Compatibility pack via GPO. I wouldn't even think about pushing the full copy of Office over our network, that would take "mad" bandwidth. :) Don Guyer Systems Engineer - Information Services Prudential, Fox & Roach/Trident Group 431 W.
